    Storyline

    Edit
    With the stage being held up regularly, the Mesquiteers decide an airplane would be better so they get the ranchers to sell their cattle and invest in the new airline. But when a gold shipment goes out, the stage line owner has his men hijack the plane. The pilot discharges the gas causing a forced landing and the Mesquiteers must now find the missing plane and recover the gold. —Maurice VanAuken <mvanauken@a1access.net>

      Final film of Louise Brooks.
    • Goofs
      When Stony and his men capture the men holding Ned and the airplane hostage, Ned is seen sitting in the pilot's seat right next to the open door. There is no other door visible on the left side, and Ned does not have any visible restraints except that his hands are behind his back. All of a sudden, Lullaby walks up to Ned from behind to untie Ned, who now has a rope wrapped twice around his body and is sitting in one of the large reclining seats in the passenger cabin.
    • Quotes

      Stony Brooke: Hey Lullaby, wake up. It's time to go to sleep.

    Mesquiteers In The Sky
    An interesting movie in that this was the swan song of silent star Louise Brooks and John Wayne was on his way to great stardom. Also, Stony, Tucson, and Lullaby are doing their old west cattle business but get involved in the 20th century airline business. First they have to convince their fellow ranchers to give up everything to join them. It's revealed to the viewer early on that criminal pilot, played by Anthony Marsh is flying their gold and the henchmen are in hot pursuit. The plot thickens as crooked bus operator played by Gordon Hart has his hooks on the cattle train. The stage is set for the Three Mesquiteers to be flying high in this great adventure.
